Standard Terminology

To achieve standardization, ISBT 128 uses internationally agreed upon product definitions. All product description definitions are maintained in this document. This document is updated and given a new version number each time there is a change to the Class or Attribute tables of the ISBT 128 Product Description Code Database.  It contains the formal definitions of all classes, modifiers, and attributes used in the database. The default values for each attribute group are also specified in here.
